CANTON-HANKOW Railway Loan.
Foreign Office, March 31, 1909.
My telegram No. 53 of the 25th instant. British and Chinese Corporation have received to-day a telegram from Bland stating that a firm offer for Hupei section of Hankow-Ichang line on terms similar to their Preliminary Agreement for Canton-Hankow line has been made by Germans.
